Academic Observation

Industry Architecture Academic Observation 001 — NIST AI RMF Defines a Governance Operating Loop, Not a Checklist

NIST AI RMF 1.0 organizes AI risk work through Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage, providing a lifecycle operating model that must be translated into persistent records, evidence, decisions, and feedback loops to become executable.

02
Daily Observation

Industry Architecture Daily 003 — A2A and MCP Define Different Interoperability Boundaries

A2A v1.0 and the MCP 2026-07-28 specification overlap in operational features but still govern different trust boundaries: collaboration between independent agents versus access to tools, context, and capabilities.

03
Weekly Synthesis

Industry Architecture Weekly 001 — The Enterprise Agent Governance Control Plane Is Taking Shape

Workday, ServiceNow, and Microsoft are converging on a common enterprise Agent governance control plane: discover and register assets, assign owners, manage authority and lifecycle, observe runtime risk, and measure cost and value.

04
Weekly Synthesis

Industry Architecture Weekly 002 — Enterprise Software Is Moving from Systems of Record to Systems of Execution

Oracle, Salesforce, and ServiceNow are embedding Agents into business objects, workflows, authority, approvals, and audit, shifting enterprise software from passive recording toward governed execution.

05
Daily Observation

ServiceNow Autonomous Workforce — Architecture Analysis

An enterprise benchmark for role-defined AI workers, deterministic workflows, authority, escalation and centralized governance.

06
Daily Observation

Workday Agent System of Record — Architecture Analysis

A control-plane benchmark for persistent ownership, lifecycle, cost, compliance and workforce-level observability.
